P90X/Insanity Hybrid... Join In @ Anytime!

We did some Ab Ripper this morning. Seriously, does it get easier? I want to get to the point that it is effortless.

Had to take a few days off to move and today I got to workout in my amazing basement! I love my new place! I did chest, shoulders and Tri's and I also did TurboFire 55EZ just to do extra since I haven't done a dvd workout. Although I'd say moving in itself is a huge calories burner I just didn't feel as good as I do doing dvd's. I burnt 708 calories today and feel great! Hope everyone else has a great workout!

June - What type of venue do you hold your fit club at?

We hold it at a High School Field House. The guy who runs the fit club is also a coach and gets the facility for free. If you have ever watched P90X infomercials it's the guy in the middle that has done 5 rounds and lost 112 pounds. His name is Tommy and he's a great friend of mine!!!

Too cool! We met Tommy at the coaches seminar in LA a couple of months ago. He's super nice. I'm so glad I met him. People expect everyone to be able to get it done in 90 days and be done with it. Some folks are going to P120X'ers and just have to keep pushing play.

Exactly right! I am in my 3rd round and still feel like I am gonna need another round or two to get my fat % down. But I am going to do a second complete round of Insanity in 2 1/2 weeks. People need to be patient, it's a process. It took me awhile to understand that but once I realized it's gonna take a lot longer than I wanted it to I accepted it and take one day at a time. It is paying off and I am now addicted to it. I will continue to do many more rounds of these two programs until the new programs come out (can't wait for that either)

Well, we're moving along with our recovery week. We just finished P90X Core Synergistics. This is the 2nd time doing it this week. Such an awesome workout. I'm going to have to do some of those moves when I hit the gym on the weekend. Tomorrow after work I may do some running at the gym.

Strange... today I burned 680 calories doing Core Syn and Monday I burned over 450 calories.

You have the Walmart Sportline HRM correct? If so, I have it too and I get ridiculous calorie burns. Granted, I'm a big guy but sometimes burning 700+ calories on yoga seems a bit "off."

Just noticed you are from Bellevue. Good old Tommy Mygrant. He's my coach. Never met him but he seems like a great guy. Part of my motivation for doing this.

He was super down to earth when we met him. At first, we were sort of pointing at him like a bunch of groupies. What do you expect when we watch the commercial at least every other day. I even quoted him, "nobody's watchin'".

I have him friended on Facebook. He has his own Youtube "diary" or something like that where he shares his thoughts.

I don't mess with Facebook, but I've check in with him on the beachbody forums. It didn't surprise me too much that has tried out some of the other programs like Insanity. I also like his just 'shut up and get it done' way of thinking now.

Yes he is an amazing motivator. We had fit club tonight and we all talked about nutrition and just everyday stuff after class for an hour. He has a passion for people. I have known Tommy even in our "fat days" and so we know the struggles people face day in and day out. He has guided me and been there for me when I have needed him. AWESOME guy. I can't say enough about him. I hope you get to meet him someday.

Hey everyone! I'm jumping in here. Finally got hubby to tell me what he decided on for our 3rd round and he chose the hybrid. He doesn't need to lose anymore weight and we both like Tony's craziness. We were watching a number of the teaser videos for One on Ones and I am going to order some today to rotate in as well.

Too funny about Tommy. My coach is Tami French and she and her hubby were on QVC a couple of days ago with Tony selling P90X. I watched an entire hour of QVC (unheard of!) just to watch them and Tony. LOL

See you on Sunday! That'll be day 1. Hello, Chest and Back!

Tommy has also been on QVC a few times and that's the only time I watch it too!!! LOL

I'm slowly but surely creating my next P90X/Insanity "Max" hybrid which should start around November 13th. This is going to be ridiculous. So much so that I won't be able to use the P90X dvd's for my weight workouts.

This will include drop and double drop sets on ALL weight/weighted vest exercises so I won't have enough time to complete all of my reps to keep up with the dvd cadence. Insanity dvd's will start at the "MAX" dvd's from Day 1.

Wow, that's going to be a crazy schedule with the drop sets. Max Insanity won't be tough, but the drop sets and weighted vest?! Man! What will be done on the rest days?

I've already started doing drops with the weighted vest. I won't be able to use the dvd's when I do P90X weight workouts because let's say I'm doing standard pushups with the weighted vest. As an arbitrary figure let's say I do 50 pushups. By the time I get the vest off to do the drop/double drop (which is immediately dropping to knees to do traditional ladies pushups after doing weighted vest then no vest) set it will be time to move on to front pullups. I won't have time to do both sets.

I haven't worked out recovery week for this program yet but it will probably be similar to my current hybrid with a couple of days of the max recovery dvd's versus the regular recovery dvd's. As far as the workouts in this hybrid, it will still be 2 days of P90X weight workout, one day of Fountain of Youth yoga with the remaining 3 days being Max Insanity dvd's with Friday being an off day.

The goal is to get ultra-sliced at about 225-230 lbs.

I haven't picked up Body Fortress yet. I've read around that the only one that tastes decent is the vanilla flavor. What say you?

I like the strawberry, vanilla & chocolate. Just don't get the cookies & cream...blech. I mix it with almond milk which makes it taste much better than with water.

Burned 1003 calories doing 59 minutes of " P90X plyometrics"

After doing plyo yesterday I still can't get over how much better shape I am in cardiovascularly with Insanity than I was with P90X. Doing the "jump knee tuck" and "Rockstar hops" at full speed to keep up with Dom used to be impossible. Now it's easy.
